I just wanted to say how much I liked and admired Mr. Lorbacher. I worked for Winn Dixie all of 29 years in the Computer Dept so I had a frequent working relationship with him. I can say each and every time I spoke to him I came away with positive feelings. What a personality!! I live in a subdivision across Timber drive from Heather Hills and would run into Mr. Lorbacher while walking and always looked forward to running into him when I passed his house. I know he will be missed dearly and please know that he made a positive influence in my life. My prayers are with you all..... God bless.

To the family of Kenneth Lorbacher, You have my very deepest sympathy in the death of dear Ken. He was a terrific teenager, which is when I knew him,so I know he must have been a really good man. We were in high school together, where all my memories of Ken are good ones. I believe in the ressurrection and if you do too, that alone will be GREAT comfort to you in the weeks and months to come...With much Christian Love, Bea Childs, A.L.Brown class of 1960.
